The Sample
The interviews were conducted online from June 12 to July 19, 2018. The AIC Poll is a stratified survey, meaning that it consists of separate samples that are intended to be representative of separate target populations. First, the poll includes 3,000 respondents from the U.S. general population. There is a weight designed to make this sample representative of the U.S. population. Additionally, the poll includes samples (which can be called "oversamples") of 800 African-Americans, 800 Latino Americans, and 800 Asian Americans, with three corresponding weights intended to make these representative of these groups in the U.S. population. Combined, the total sample size of the entire AIC Poll is 5,400.
